Unicel 5 Micron Pleated Sediment Whole House Water Filter Replacement Cartridge 10" x 4.5"

Fit all standard industry water filter housings: 4.5" x 10"

Sediment filtration is a vital part of any water filtration process. A sediment filtration cartridge does just that, it removes the sediments from the water source you are trying to filter. At times preparing the water quality for the next stage in the process so that cartridge can perform at its best and last for as long as possible.There are different types of sediment filter cartridges. We currently stock 3 of the most popular styles. 

• Pleated Polyester washable

• Polyspun

• String Wound Polypropylene

All available in a range of dimensions and micron sizes for different applications.

Pleated Polyester Cartridges

Pleated polyester cartridges offer a simple, practical means of filtration. Ease of maintenance, high dirt holding capacities, high flow rates and a low pressure drop provide the lowest cost per litre filtered. When the flow rate significantly slows, the cartridge may simply need cleaning and this can be done by placing the cartridge under a running tap/ gentle hose.

Reusability of these cartridges means that the pleated polyester cartridge is an extremely cost effective means of filtration in comparison to the standard disposable type cartridges. They can be cleaned several times before a new replacement is required. A new cartridge may be needed when cleaning is no longer effective. Life of the cartridge will depend on your water quality and cartridge micron rating (e.g. 5 micron cartridges may only be cleaned once or twice).

Cartridge Information

Filter cartridge manufacturers rate cartridges in "microns". Microns are a size measurement of the pore size, so the smaller the number, the tighter the filter. One-micron filters are for drinking water only. In general, they are too tight to filter large amounts of water without slowing the flow to unacceptable levels.

Filter cartridge manufacturers also use the words "absolute" and "nominal" to describe their products' micron ratings. Absolute means absolute. Nominal means "more or less."

Cartridge Guide

It is the micron size & the physical size of the cartridge which determines what that particular sediment cartridge can be used for.

For whole house filtration you can go as low as 10 micron. But for drinking water you would want to use from the 10 micron size down smaller.

Cartridge Style

These cartridges will fit inside all industry standard housings for the appropriate size.
